This is an indispensable book, which introduces the reader to the importance of understanding the various literary forms that appear in Sacred Scripture in order to arrive at the correct meaning of biblical stories and other passages in the Bible. The book covers such literary forms such as myth, legend, debate, fiction, Gospel, parable, allegory, letter, and revelation. This revised edition also includes the study of psalms, infancy narratives, and miracle stories. Each genre is clearly defined, and the importance of understanding the characteristics of each form to find meaning is explored in relation to many well-known biblical passages: “Samson”, “Lot’s wife”, “Jonah”, “puzzling parables”, “666” and many more. This book is an indispensable one for understanding the Bible within the framework of its word-meaning, the author-meaning and the reader-meaning. Highly recommended for Seminary professors and theology students.
